Bridging the generation gap: Episode 2 Marijuana Use with Dr. Godfrey Pearlson

Welcome to a special 3-part series of Hartford HealthCare's More Life that will focus on how different generations engage on  various healthcare topics.

Hosted by Tina Varona, director of Media Relations on the Hartford HealthCare content strategy team, and administrative graduate intern Levell Williams - a health equity scholar at the Brown University School of Public Health in Rhode Island.

The idea behind the series: identify the “generation gap” in various health-related topics while Tina and Levell share their own, unique experiences representing Generation X and Gen Z.  

The goal:  to “bridge that gap” through a lively discussion with Hartford HealthCare experts to educate audience members of all age groups.

In episode two, Tina and Levell explore the generational use of marijuana – who likes it, and why – medicinal or recreational?  Their guest, Dr. Godfrey Pearlson of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Center at the Institute of Living at Hartford Hospital, is also the author of Weed Science, and he has some fascinating insight.
